Hardinfo and system variables used by it

Opening HARDINFO, several fields are not set as they are reporting unknown.
They are Hardinfo>Summary and Hardinfo>Operating System.

Question

Does Hardinfo get these values from some standard system fields?

Does Woof set these fields?

my CPUMHZ is 1544 -> DELAYFACTOR=0
But this time I had no black screen so I am not sure if sleep is ok.
Maybe I had been playing too much with backgrounds?

had black screen again so I will add 1 second:

Tried to install other drivers from PPM but each time results in a lockup at the PPM search. Hard poweroff was needed.

I think KMS is actually needed. It's supposed to support cards up to 10 yo. As I said, it works quite well on the same kit with an experimental Slacko build, about 10 times the performance from glxgears.

Other than that, connection with wireless was easy and painless to a wpa2 protected router, intel pro/wireless 2200BG, used SNS.

After quicksetup setting en_AU and timezone to AEST and X restart I expected the bacon screen, it was a no show, no barks either. If I accept the defaults (no X restart) and then I do get 2 barks and the bacon screen.

Google Earth will run on this pc but isn't usable.
I also have slackware 14.0 rc3 installed on this pc and it can run all
the games etc that require hardware acceleration, much higher fps with
glxgears.
The graphics card is an ati 1600 pro, which is a very good card but in
the legacy category.
